Chapter 266 Your Dad Is Your Dad

As they were talking, they returned home. Madam Lin was squatting in the yard feeding Shen Qiu. When she saw them, she said, "Poor Shen Qiu, he has become so thin. Can you open a door for him? Just as big as a dog hole. When he wants to come back, he can come back and have a meal."

Brother Tang complained: "The wall is just finished and you want to smash a hole in it?"

Madam Lin glared at him and said, "Did I talk to you?"

Tang Qingshan said: "Okay, let me think about it."

"Humph!" Madam Lin was satisfied and stood up and said, "So what's the point of raising a son?"

Brother Tang: “…”

Logically speaking, my father just said to think about it, and didn't say whether he really wanted to or not, and didn't say whether he could think of it or not, so he became a good person? Women are so easy to deceive! But what he didn't expect was that Tang Qingshan quickly took out a saw and opened a small hole on the right side of the threshold.

When building a house in the countryside, as long as there is a courtyard wall, there will be a threshold at the front door.

There is a horizontal wooden board under the gate, which is stuck in the grooves on both sides and can be removed. This is not only a custom, but also can prevent wind, wear, insects and rats.

Brother Tang thought to himself, aren’t we afraid of mice coming in if we dig a hole?

But he was afraid of being scolded by his mother, so he held back and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qingshan sawed the round wooden board into two halves, and then installed hinges to make a small door that opened in half, and installed a door latch.

Mrs. Lin was standing nearby watching, and Xinbao was squatting nearby watching as well. Both mother and daughter were extremely supportive.

Brother Tang stretched his head to take a look and couldn't help but complain again: "You still have to come out to open it? Why can't you just open the door? Why bother?"

His father didn't even turn his head: "The fox has nails, but you don't have a brain."

Brother Tang was stunned.

Then Tang Qingshan polished the edges smooth, put it on the door, and carried Shen Qiu out. As a big man, he squatted there patiently, teaching Shen Qiu how to open the door again and again.

Foxes are smart, and their claws are long and sharp. After just a few tries, Shen Qiu learned how to do it and scratched the door open with one claw.

Madam Lin and Xinbao couldn't help but shout out in surprise! !

Tang Qingshan curled his lips slightly, and then taught Shen Qiu how to close the door.

After teaching it over ten times, Shen Qiu finally learned it. He probably thought it was very interesting and started running around again and again.

Finally, when Tang Qingshan closed the door, it could easily open the door and come in, then turn around and close the door with one paw. The series of actions was very humane.

Xinbao's eyes were filled with admiration. Daddy is so great! So great! So smart and skillful! She followed him on her short legs, blowing rainbow farts with her little mouth, feeling inexplicably excited.

Mrs. Lin couldn't help but smile.

Therefore, sometimes whether a man cares about you or not does not depend on how many hairpins, jewelry and cosmetics he buys for you, but on these little things. Many people can think of this kind of little thoughts, but the key lies in whether you are willing to think about it and whether you are willing to spend the effort.

Tang Qingshan took out another piece of wood and clanged it for a while, preparing to build a small wooden house for Shen Qiu. He would then put a cotton mat on it so that even if the Shen Qiu came over at night and couldn't get into the house, he wouldn't have to worry about it getting cold.

At dinner that night, Madam Lin and Xinbao took turns putting delicious dishes on his plate, one holding his hand and the other hugging his arms, all showing signs of competing for favor.

Brother Tang, who was ignored by everyone, felt a little complicated.

Especially when he saw that little brat Yan Shenjue, who also had an expression that showed he had learned something, his mood became even more complicated.

What can I say? Your father is your father. There are many things to learn! The next day, Tang Qingshan woke up and continued to polish the cabin. Xinbao was still asleep. Madam Lin called Yan Shenjue, "Xiao Jue, come down and help me write a letter."

Yan Shenjue agreed, jumped down from the building with a pen and paper, and asked, "Who is this for?"

Madam Lin said, "I'd better write it to my father."

A few days ago, Yan Shenjue sent a message, asking Yan Yi to send a escort to them so that they could come over. Unexpectedly, the old escort leader Lin did not respond, saying that he knew they had good intentions, but he appreciated the kindness, but he could not keep taking advantage of them.

Then he wrote a letter and asked Yan Yi to help pass it back.

They used an eagle to send the message, and the speed was very fast. Madam Lin read the letter and didn't say anything, so he thought that Madam Lin had given up the idea.

Madam Lin smiled and said, "You don't understand. The reasons my father gave were all false. He was actually afraid of causing trouble for me. But if I needed their help, they would definitely come...Now your uncle Qingshan has thought of a business. There will be fruit trees next year. There are many things to do. People are needed everywhere. I will pretend to be in trouble with him, and he will come."

Yan Shenjue nodded suddenly.

Although this principle is very simple, he really doesn't understand it.

Mrs. Lin smiled and poked him with a finger: "Okay, write quickly."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Except for the twins, everyone in the Tang family can read, but when it comes to writing, only Tang Qingshan and the second brother Tang can.

Yan Shen Jue finished writing the letter and gave it to someone to pass on. Tang Qingshan also built the cabin, which looked quite exquisite. Shen Qiu probably knew that it was for him, and he kept going in and out, having a lot of fun.

After Xinbao woke up, she moved her small stool over, took her bowl and sat there, ate while watching, and didn't feel cold at all.

Tang Qingshan said, "Xinbao, I left a space here. When I find a suitable piece of wood, I can build a swing here."

Xinbao nodded vigorously while eating. Tang Qingshan cleaned up the things on the ground and washed his hands directly in the spring water. At the same time, he remembered to ask: "Xiao Jue, is the scholar you mentioned accurate?"

Yan Shenjue said: "It's fixed, you can come anytime, they are a family, one of the daughters is married, so only the couple came."

Tang Qingshan nodded, went into the house, dried his hands, and prepared to go talk to the old patriarch. If they were going to start learning after the 15th, then it would be a perfect time to clean up the house.

Madam Lin called him and took out a small bottle of ointment from her purse and put some on his hand. Tang Qingshan didn't say anything, but rubbed his hands and went out.

Now that the groundwork has been laid and the village head has been dealt with, it's just right to say this.

Moreover, Tang Qingshan also said that they did not have to pay for the master's wages, food and lodging, but each family had to contribute to set up a place, and then everyone who sent their children there would take turns fetching water, and firewood would have to be prepared.

Sometimes, people cannot be spoiled. They will complain that the food is cold even after it is fed to them. We need to make them work hard and contribute something, so that they know that some things are not given for free.

The old patriarch readily agreed, thanked him repeatedly, and then said, "There are not many empty houses now. The one in the south is too rotten to be lived in... I heard that you bought Tang Shitou's house. Are you thinking of bringing your father-in-law over?"

"Yes," Tang Qingshan said, "Tang Sanshui's incident not only hurt me, but also my old Taishan and my uncles. I feel guilty, so I want to take them here to fulfill my filial duty."

The old patriarch agreed repeatedly: "It's right, you are a kind and righteous person."

He coughed and asked again: "Then tell me, your old house..."

Tang Qingshan frowned.
